Hippospongia communis is 'n sponsspesie in die taksonomiese indeling van die Demospongiae (gewone sponse). Die liggaam van die spons bestaan uit kieselnaalde en sponginevesels en is in staat om baie water op te neem.
Die spons behoort tot die genus Hippospongia en tot die familie Spongiidae. Die wetenskaplike naam van die spesie is die eerste keer geldig gepubliseer in 1814 deur Lamarck.

Hippospongia communis also known as the honeycomb bath sponge, is a marine sponge in the phylum Porifera.
Hippospongia communis is a brown or darker color[1] and very porous, due to its many oscules, and is commonly found in shallow waters of the Mediterranean. Throughout history, H. communis has been used for cleaning, medicine, and cooking. Along with being used for domestic purposes, the bath sponge has been used in many scientific studies.
The most common areas that Hippospongia communis inhabit are marine waters, mostly in the Western Mediterranean[2] or the South Aegean Sea.[3] Specifically in the Mediterranean, the Hippospongia communis is the most common sponge.[4] The sponge settles on rocky or muddy bottoms and it is common to find them in ocean caves. Hippospongia communis like being in shallow water, around 15 m deep. The few individual H. communis that are found at the deeper depths are typically older.[1][5]
Hippospongia communis has many oscules that are scattered and grouped along the top of the sponge. Its porous structure and spongey exterior made it perfect for people throughout history, as far back as 1900 BC, to use it as a household item. In particular, the honeycomb bath sponge was used for things like cleaning, hygiene, cooking and agriculture in Rome.
In Greek civilization, having the Hippospongia communis was an important status symbol. They included it in their pottery and literature.
The Egyptians also used the Hippospongia communis many ways. They used the sponge to create texture on walls when painting.
Other ways that Hippospongia communis was put to use were in medicine. H. communis was used for contraception, surgery and waking people from anesthesia. H. communis was also used in cosmetics.
Due to its popularity, the sponge community was threatened due to fisheries harvesting these sponges. Fishermen overfishing these sponges were causing harmful diseases to their populations. They were fished to the point of extinction, and the waters of the Mediterranean are still feeling the repercussions.[6]
Hippospongia communis is usually a large, rounded sponge that has a yellowish brown color. The size of the bath sponge varies but the larger they are, the more expensive they can be. H.communis has a skeleton that is made out of elements such as O, I, Al, Cl, and Si.[7] It has many oscules, making the sponge very porous. It is likely that the H. communis sponges have other organisms living within these oscules. Many organism such as crustaceans and worms are typical organisms found within the sponge.[8] These sponges are a great habitats to sustain other kinds of life.
Hippospongia communis has a bioactive compound that makes it anti-fungal. This is due to untensopongin B, making the sponge perfect for its uses in old medicine.[2][6]
Hippospongia communis sexually reproduces year round. The sponge is also hermaphroditic,[9] meaning it has both male and female reproductive organs at the same time.
It has been found that during its sexual reproduction, regardless of the location, the Hippospongia communis eggs will fertilize at the same time. The bath sponge reproduction times are all synced throughout different locations that the H. communis inhabit. The larva has a planktonic, free-living stage then the sponge larvae eventually adjusts on the sea floor, usually on rough surfaces. Many times, the larvae does not survive these first few stages.[10]
Because of the abundance and absorbency of these sponges, Hippospongia communis has been used on a variety of different studies. One study looked how the sponge was able to immobilize laccase due to ocean pollution. It is very important that the spongin in the Hippospongia communis could do this and not degrade, like other materials had.[11]

Hippospongia communis adalah spesies spons yang tergolong dalam kelas Demospongiae. Spesies ini juga merupakan bagian dari genus Hippospongia dan famili Spongiidae. Nama ilmiah spesies ini pertama kali diterbitkan pada tahun 1814 oleh Lamarck.
Seperti spons pada umumnya, spesies ini memiliki tubuh yang berpori dan permukaan yang keras seperti batu. Selain itu, Hippospongia communis juga dapat menyerap oksigen dari air melalui proses difusi.
